What Counts as “News?”

“The election was fair, as fair as we have seen. We simply did not win the election, as Republicans, for the presidency.”
Mike Rounds, Senator, (R) South Dakota since 2015

Is this really a news story? An individual Republican senator, from a blood-red state, makes an obviously true statement and the American media goes insane?

I’d be more excited by a story detailing how some old lady’s cat got stuck up in a tree.
